Hello,
Piomed has piozone in it and should be avoided as it can cause water retention and result in heart failure.
Since PP sugar levels are above 400 which are very high,her anti diabetic treatment needs revision.
You must consult a diabetologist or a physician for proper treatment.
Considering the high sugar levels,it seems appropriate for her to be put on injection insulin for proper diabetes control.
Thanks
